TNT Sports Ultimate and HBO Max

ildr — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 15:37:23 GMT

With the HBO Max UK launch details announced today, I’m wondering how this will work with existing accounts that have TNT Sports Ultimate as an inclusive extra add on.

Will we just get the entertainment content like the previous addition of DIscovery+ or will something more convoluted happen?

If I need to subscribe separately to watch The Pitt, so be it.

Information seems to be available for the various types of subscription and content partners towards the bottom of the story here: https://www.tntsports.co.uk/all-sports/hbo-max-the-new-streaming-home-of-tnt-sports_sto23264114/story.shtml

" BT & EE TV

From the 26 March you can continue to access TNT Sports and discovery+ entertainment content on HBO Max, download the HBO Max app and sign in with your discovery+ email and password.

EE Mobile

From the 26 March you can continue to access TNT Sports content on HBO Max, download the HBO Max app and sign in with your discovery+ email and password."

"Starting 26 March 2026, TNT Sports will no longer be available to stream on discovery+ and your new streaming destination will be HBO Max.

What happens to your subscription depends on which TNT Sports plan you have and how you signed up"

"discovery+ TNT Sports plan - From 26th March 2026, your subscription will continue on HBO Max. On 26 March, download the HBO Max app and sign in using your discovery+ email and password.

discovery+ TNT Sports and entertainment plan - From 26 March 2026, your subscription will continue on HBO Max. On 26 March, download the HBO Max app and sign in using your discovery+ email and password. On that day, you'll get access to both TNT Sports along with all of the amazing entertainment content available on HBO Max, including select discovery+ content.

discovery+ Entertainment plan (without TNT Sports) - If you have the discovery+ Entertainment plan, there won't be any changes to your plan. You can continue to enjoy the same entertainment offerings that are available today on discovery+."

Seems as though it will be a TNT Sports Only subscription (worth £30.99) for EE Mobile.

Thanks for the information, if this plays out as stated I’ll subscribe separately for the HBO Max content to be able to drop in and out.

Will the hbo max app appear automatically via the EE TV box for 26 Mar? We don't have a full internet TV which does not itself allow app downloads, but do have EE TV box. Currently watching cycling via discovery plus app on EE TV box connected to TV.

That level of detail isn't currently available unfortunately, only subscription details.

I believe @DarrenDev has stated that an official announcement will be made on the EE TV specific implications before the changes come into effect (statement coming "later this week" I believe).

Re: TNT Sports Ultimate and HBO Max

DarrenDev — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:22:10 GMT

The changes don't happen until March 26th.

Full details about how it will affect subscriptions, packages, apps, and logins will be provided later this week.

Matt_124 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 11:27:24 GMT

Yes apologies I meant the statement later this week as opposed to the changes.

I have the TNT package with the UHD big screen add on.

The thing is I’d like to subscribe to HBO Premium too so I can enjoy their shows in 4K + Dolby, I’m wondering if that’ll be possible with EE. I’d rather not have two log ins to switch between.

Re: TNT Sports Ultimate and HBO Max

We won’t know exactly until the app is active for consumers on March 26th, but my understanding of this is when we use our current login details to access TNT Sports through the HBO Max app we will get some offer or ability to ‘bolt on’ the entertainment content.

How this will be billed either through EE or directly to HBO we just don’t know right now, but they seem to be working with all their current partners both before and after launch.

So I would think a single login situation is highly likely.

I share my current TNT Sports Plan, which is an extra under my SIM plan with EE, with a couple of friends as up to 3 connections are permitted. Will this continue with HBO Max? I haven’t been able to find anything

Just to say that TNTSports website - where @Matt_124 quoted has been revised.

For example (last week and quoted 09Feb2026)

"BT & EE TV

From the 26 March you can continue to access TNT Sports and discovery+ entertainment content on HBO Max, download the HBO Max app and sign in with your discovery+ email and password."

This week ( 19Feb2026 it says)

BT & EE TV

When HBO Max becomes available on 26 March, you'll access TNT Sports on HBO Max. Starting on that day, download the HBO Max app and sign in with your discovery+ email and password. You can continue watching discovery+ entertainment content in the discovery+ app.

I recommend checking and relying upon EE and BT communications rather than the TNT Sports website

Hi @DarrenDev

Am I right in thinking that if I am a Sports subscriber through EE I won’t be able to subscribe to HBO Max through the same email I have with EE.

Meaning I’d have to have to have 2 separate HBO logins to watch their premium content if I wanted to subscribe with them direct?

1 login to watch TNT.

1 login to watch everything else.

Thanks in advance.

Re: TNT Sports Ultimate and HBO Max

DarrenDev — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:46:41 GMT

Correct @BenJones90 - you'll need 2 different logins, as a single account cannot have 2 billing sources.

I have TNT Sport via my BT Broadband package (they swapped my BT mobile to EE a year or so back). Currently watch via Discovery+ app on Sky and Samsung Smart TV (and on iPad/iPhone). How will this change affect me? Do I just need to download the HBO Max app to everything (assume Sky will have in their app section?). Or what? I have received nothing from. BT about this..

Also, will the access via Discovery+ stop on 26 March or will there be a transition? Can see chaos as everyone tries to download app on same day otherwise. Why is the app not available to download in advance and just goes live on 26th? Seems a nightmare scenario potentially.

Re: TNT Sports Ultimate and HBO Max

DarrenDev — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 11:57:22 GMT

@Headpin yes, you will need to download the HBO Max app on your Samsung TV and iPad/iPhone. Your Sky box should handle it automatically I believe.

There won't be any transition I'm afraid - the discovery+ app will lose TNT Sports on March 26th, the same day that it starts on HBO Max. It's possible that the app will be in the store early, but unlikely. The app stores are more than capable of handling everyone downloading the new app on the same day.

so if that included discovery premium,does that mean I’ll get it add free to - the full hbo ?

@Bilbo6 see this page for full info on EE Mobile subscriptions and how they're affected by the move to HBO Max:

https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/manage-use/pay-monthly/extras-and-add-ons/tv-refresh

To answer your specific question - no, you won't have the full HBO Max subscription. You'll just have access to TNT Sports.

Antonis1 — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:01:59 GMT

It doesn't allow me subscribe to HBO Max plans so I guess I need to create a new account for that. I hope EE combines them or to include the plans to the benefit list in the future so I can have both of them in one account.

Re: TNT Sports Ultimate and HBO Max

DarrenDev — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:23:15 GMT

Unfortunately there are currently no plans to offer this @Antonis1

Up and running as expected using two logins, a bit of a faff at first, but thinking about it in the long run it will allow me to drop in and out of the entertainment content without causing issues for sports content.

In my case I went with using one device solely for the entertainment login, with all other devices setup for sports.

There does however appear to be a way to add access (no saver plan option though) to the entertainment content if you log in to the hbomax website and for them to bill you separately.

Whatever route you take enjoy the content.
